| Popis: |
A milk replacer using 29% whey and vegetable oils was formulated for kid goats in order to reduce costs of kid goat feeding. This new milk replacer (FCA) was compared with a commercial (COM) calf milk replacer, generally used by farmers in the rearing of young goats. Twenty-six Saanen-Criollo kids were fed from 6 to 57 days of age with these two replacers ad libitum. The replacers were given warm (37 °C) and at an approximate concentration of 17% DM. Differences of growth were found between treatments (P 0.05). It can be concluded that in spite of the lower intake and growth obtained with FCA, its better DM conversion index and lower cost, make its use economically feasible, besides, that carcass more suitable for consumers was obtained. |
